After finishing her meal, she didn't dare to make a fuss about playing with her older brother, the prince, and obediently returned to her toy room.
Yinreng was a little confused, as he didn't seem to have done anything recently.
"Ming, Mother Consort, why are you looking at me like that?" Yinreng asked weakly.
As Mingxiu looked at Yinreng, she thought more and more about the fate of the Irgen Gioro clan and the fate of the Guarjia clan, the daughter of Yinreng's Crown Princess Shi Bingwen.
"Baocheng, your mother is asking you when you plan to get married."
Ah, Mingxiu was a little surprised, wondering how Mingxiu's thoughts had wandered to this point.
Besides, he doesn't have the final say on when they'll get married.
"Your Majesty, I don't know. I'll just follow the arrangements of Mother Consort and Father Emperor. But I don't want to get married too early." Yinreng frowned as he spoke.
Mingxiu's previously anxious mood came to an abrupt end.
Curious, she asked, "Why don't you want to get married early?"
Yinreng frowned: "Your Majesty thinks having a wife is too expensive, and she also likes to throw tantrums. I'll have to coax her all the time. I could do so many other things in that time."
Mingxiu looked at Yinreng with some surprise; "How did you know that your wife likes to spend money and also likes to throw tantrums?"
“My son has a study companion whose older brother just got married. He heard it from his brother, who said that he had worked hard to save money for more than ten years, but he spent it all on getting married. Moreover, his wife is very temperamental, and when he goes home at night, his brother has to go and coax her, so he doesn’t have time to play with him.”
When Yinreng spoke, he frowned, genuinely feeling that getting married was troublesome and expensive; it would wipe out more than ten years' worth of money, which was terrifying.
He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't see the person next to him instantly shut their mouth upon hearing his words.
Mingxiu was speechless for a moment, looking at Yinreng as if he were an idiot.
There were so many flaws in what she said that she didn't know how to respond.
He's just married a girl, so he's probably very fond of her. Now that he's brought her home, it's only natural that he should sleep with her in his arms.
Who wants to play with his smelly and stubborn younger brother?
Mingxiu was speechless. She had originally wanted to vent her anger on him, but he had left her speechless instead.
but!
Mingxiu's eyes lit up. This wasn't bad either. Instead of explaining, Mingxiu added another layer of complexity.
She waved for the servants to leave, not wanting anyone to know what she was about to say; she still cared a lot about her image.
"That's right, getting married is expensive, and let me tell you, if you get married too early, you'll turn into an enoki mushroom."
Mingxiu secretly dropped a bombshell in Yinreng's ear.
Yinreng's eyes widened instantly, and Mingxiu nodded solemnly.
"Really, if you don't believe me, you can go back and ask. It really will turn into enoki mushrooms."
After saying that, Mingxiu stopped moving and just stood there watching the expressions on Yinreng's face change constantly.
From Mingxiu's perspective, she could see a giant panda floating nearby, chattering away in Yinreng's ear.
After a while, Yinreng's expression gradually stabilized, and he nodded solemnly to Mingxiu.
"Mother Consort is right. Too early will turn you into a mushroom. Your son will definitely not get involved with women too early."
Wow!
He's even got to the point of considering women; it seems he's truly come to understand it.
Mingxiu was satisfied.
Nodding, he couldn't resist mischievously telling Yinreng, "Now that you know, your brothers definitely don't, so you'd better tell them too, otherwise what if one of them turns into an enoki mushroom?"
Yinreng nodded seriously.
Indeed, he has a good relationship with his eldest brother, third brother, and fourth brother, so I should mention it. Oh, and I should also tell my fifth brother.
It just so happens that he had heard from his elder brother recently that his mother wanted to find him a palace maid who knew about human affairs.
This matter cannot be delayed.
The next day, Yinzhi and his brothers received a lesson from Yinreng about enoki mushrooms.
The brothers listened to Yinreng's explanation with distorted expressions.
There was nothing to do outside today, so I wanted to go to the Imperial Study to see how my sons were doing with their studies. But I ended up overhearing a lecture on science by Emperor Kangxi...
Kangxi's face was contorted, but he couldn't go out and beat the people inside. He could only listen at the door. Especially when he heard Yinreng openly use words like "chicken" and "eggs," his face was almost numb.
Liang Jiugong, standing beside him, kept his head down, not daring to look at Kangxi's expression, for fear that he would burst out laughing.
His Highness the Crown Prince is really hilarious.
Inside the room, Yinreng had successfully finished explaining the science to Xiao Xuanni, and had also successfully dispelled Yinzhi's doubts.
Forget it, this little thing is nothing compared to his war effort. Besides, he doesn't want to really turn into an enoki mushroom.
The remaining children also blushed as they listened.
After listening to the story with a livid face, Kangxi turned and left.
He can't go see Yinreng now, otherwise he's afraid he won't be able to control himself and might beat someone up.
Mingxiu had no idea that the task he had assigned to Yinreng had been completed so well by Yinreng.
I'd be ecstatic if I knew.
When Yinzhi returned, he immediately refused Consort Hui's offer to find him a palace maid.
As for a wife, he doesn't want one now. He talked to his mother for a long time and finally got her to agree to wait a few years.
Because of this matter, Consort Hui even came to talk to Mingxiu about it.
Mingxiu could only nod to comfort her, but she was secretly overjoyed.
Hahaha.
Summer passed in the blink of an eye, and autumn came quickly. However, because this summer was not very hot, no one went to Changchun Garden.
During this period, Emperor Kangxi also visited the inner palace, but he only went to the palaces of some high-ranking concubines or a few favored minor noble ladies.
But he hasn't come to Mingxiu's place yet.
This is very unusual. Normally, the emperor would come seventy or eighty times a month, let alone every few months, but this time he hasn't come for several months.
As a result, some people secretly speculated that Consort Jia had fallen out of favor.
Even several concubines who were close to Mingxiu came over to give her subtle and overt reminders.
But Mingxiu didn't care at all; this was something that could have been expected long ago.
What's there to be angry about?
Mingxiu cared, but some restless people jumped out early on.
Take, for example, Consort Fucha, who recently entered the palace and has been very favored.
Mingxiu was in a rare good mood today and decided to have a picnic with everyone, so she brought Luzhu and the others out to play in a secluded corner of the Imperial Garden.
I thought I wouldn't run into anyone here, but some people just had to court death.
